I got a call from a telemarketer last week. It was one of those calls where you can chop the interest rate on your credit card. I decided to tell the caller that they were in violation of the Do not call list and that I would refer subsequent calls to the attorney general’s office so I hit the button to talk to a human.

Then the call got weird.

I hear a woman in the background. Can we get some soy sauce with that? A lot of soy sauce. We both like soy sauce. Can we get like ten each?

The conversation goes on like this for a bit clearly she is using her cell phone to order lunch while she is supposed to be answering calls. Eventually, my one year old daughter makes a sound in the background. The call realizes what has happened and focuses her attention on me in the only way possible.

Yep, she hung up on me. Hopefully this was one of those calls that is being recorded for training purposes.
